Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (46.3%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 98.7% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $23,746 and has fallen 88.6% since, to $2,709 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 215 payments — averaging $362.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
